Moderna & The Global mRNA Supply Chain: Regulatory Lessons Learned
One of the most important reminders I took away from Moderna’s experiences ushering its mRNA vaccine onto the global market is that a commercial manufacturing process must also be accompanied by a commercially ready supply chain. Though sufficient physical volumes of each raw material and a redundant supplier network are necessities, physical scale is not the only “CQA” for which we must account when commercializing our supply chain.

The Expanding Patent Landscape For RNA-Based Therapeutics
The COVID-19 pandemic thrust RNA-based therapeutics into the spotlight. Before that, only a handful had received regulatory approval. Why are RNA-based therapeutics seeing more patent activity now and how should biotech companies mitigate patent risks? Attorneys from Neal Gerber Eisenberg share their insights.

A "Hot Take" on Personalized mRNA Medicines
mRNA’s small-scale and cell-free production are often-touted benefits in the personalized medicines sphere. But as I reviewed my notes from the BioPhorum ATMP member event, I found myself coming face to face with a difficult truth.
ARTICLES, APP NOTES, CASE STUDIES, & WHITE PAPERS
-
A review of insights derived from the development of mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines and how they can be applied to accelerate progress in the manufacture of vaccines and therapeutics moving forward.
-
GMP-Source, which is a term we coined, serves the purpose as a highly qualified raw material for a generation of virus, messenger RNA template, and transgenic expression of proteins.
-
Widespread application of pDNA in gene therapy is driving increased demand and as a response, plasmid manufacturing must become more efficient with improved productivity. Intensification of chromatographic steps can help address this demand and has led to an exploration of the use of convective media (monoliths, membranes, fibre based technologies).
